The project consists of the landscape and architectural design for a new park on the site of the old airport in Taichung, with leisure, sport, family, and tourist activities.
The project is divided into several interventions that create exterior spaces where the excesses of Taichung's subtropical warm and humid climate are lessened. Beginning with the existing climatic conditions as a point of departure, three gradation climatic maps have been defined following the results of three computational fluid dynamics simulations (CDF).
The result is a diversity of microclimates and a multitude of different experiences in different areas of the park that we could freely occupy depending on the hour of the day or the month of the year. The climate devices are classified in three categories: cooling devices, drying devices, and depolluting devices. Some new architectural buildings and facilities buildings complete the park (vegetation and topography, rain maintenance) and park furniture and climatic devices.
